15 Lively Seattle Restaurants for Big Group Dinners
"Sichuan food is generally served family-style, and the portions at Northgate’s Tian Fu Chinese restaurant (with additional locations in the U District and Bellevue) are huge. The larger tables in the spacious dining room are even equipped with lazy Susans to facilitate the sharing of several dishes. The mapo tofu here is heavily spiced and satisfying. The dry-fried string beans pack a punch of umami from the pickled vegetable bits. The whole grilled fish dishes (which are doused in broth, strewn with dried chilis and Sichuan peppercorns, and served with a choice of vegetables) are great for splitting, as are the several boiled fish dishes on the menu." - Meg van Huygen, Mark Van Streefkerk, Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Adam H.
